Family hotels and homes in Koh Phaluai

The best host we have ever had full stop. This is not something i think we will ever experience again, i would write what exactly they did for us but the list is so long i dont know where to begin. Absolutely coming back, it was the best place in thailand for us

Unique experience. The hosts are very lovely and helpful. Phi Dao even drove me to some places. thank you again. It is a quiet place on a wonderful island. Two rooms, each with own bathroom, built on a long leg construction, share a veranda with great views of the sea, mangroves and sunset. with loungers and seating, super chill. very comfortable mattress for my needs. Bathroom with shower and western toilet. I didn't use the fan because the bungalow and Veranda is made so that some wind comes through, which was perfect for me. The homestay is very lovingly built, with a large pavilion for relaxing. little spots in the shade everywhere, a hamoc, a beautiful flower tunnel, cute details. A bar is now being built and it already looks inviting. For breakfast there was coffee, toast and jam, fried eggs and very tasty fruit. All day long coffe and water. You can explore wonderful paths, swim in the beautiful ocean (a lovely path through the jungle, easy to walk, you might see monkeys, hornbills, any kind if birds, squirrels, and monitor lizards). You can climb viewpoints, there is also kayaking and SUP, I didn't try that because I'm still recovering and just wanted to relax. I was able to recover really well. It's so nice and quiet here. To eat you can walk to the nearby Phaluay seafood restaurant, which is also very recommended, with delicious food and very friendly service, everybody. Keep in mind that it is a pristine natural island, there is no luxury, no shop and no ATM (bring enough money, maybe you want to donate for the school or the cat lady :) Absolutely recommended for a special experience in nature, peace and simplicity. .

It was my last week in Thailand, and I wanted to isolate myself on a peaceful island. I found this place on Google Maps, and it turned out to be an incredible experience — living in nature, camping, and spending time with a beautiful Thai family. I’m truly grateful to Tom and his family, who were kind, warm, and very attentive. They picked me up from the pier, invited me to dinner several times, and even helped me shop at the island’s minimarket. They were always checking in to make sure I had everything I needed. Tom also guided me around and helped me explore the island. As for the campsite, it’s well set up. One day there was a storm, and the tent held up perfectly. The island is very natural, with a rich insect ecosystem, so I recommend bringing repellent. Still, this is part of the island’s charm — wild, untouched, and unlike any other island I visited in Thailand. If you're looking for a place without tourists, surrounded by nature and ideal for meditation or disconnecting, this is the perfect spot.

Nice and authentic hotel, very cheap but comfy and well located
